    Automatic Data Validation drop down creation

    good afternoon,

    Any assistance on the following will be of much appreciation.

    I am currently working between to worksheets. The first worksheet is
    for"data dump", where i will be pasting results in a set column row format
    from a queried database. The second worksheet contains references to the
    datadump sheet, basically reshowing the data from the first worksheet in a
    formatted and protected form. On the second worksheet I am looking to use
    data validation dropdowns as well. For every row of information, i would
    like a dropdown selection. Here is what i am trying to accomplish:

    The whole workbook is to be set as a reuseable template. In worksheet two,
    I would like a data validation field only to populate in row K if the
    reference on the same row in column D is showing a value (if there is no
    value in worksheet 1 it shows as a 0, but i would like this be read as Null).

    I can envision 2 ways of doing this, but have stalled in my attempts at
    both. the first is a macro that creates a dropdown in K if reference result
    in D on the same row is > 0. The second possibility is to create a macro
    that begins with row 1, columns A through M, than duplicates this row
    (including data validation in column K) as many times down for the rows
    pasted into data dump of worksheet 1. The second possibility is of course
    optimal, but i understand that it may also be complex to code.

    I apologize for the long winded explanation. Thank you for your time and
    any help that you can give.
